This is the latest “Operation Randall” newsletter from the police, from the team specialising in rural crime around Norfolk.
The A47 will be closed at various times and locations in the evenings 14-18 Nov. Roughly between Blofield and Great Yarmouth. The diversion is huge, and traffic will be diverted along the A146. See the full post below for a diagram and full explanation.
Verbatim from the official notice:
We plan to carry out surveys to assess the condition of the A47 at various locations between Lingwood Lane and Great Yarmouth.
We plan to complete this work over 5 nights between Monday 14 November and Friday 18 November. We will work between 8pm and 6am, weather permitting.
Closures and diversions
To carry out the work safely, we will need to close the A47 and divert traffic as detailed below:
- A47 Acle Roundabout to Vauxhall Roundabout both directions – Monday 14 November
- Lingwood Lane to Acle Roundabout eastbound – Tuesday 15 November and Wednesday 16 November (No access will be available from Brundall / Cucumber Lane Roundabout)
- Acle Roundabout to Lingwood Lane westbound – Thursday 17 November and Friday 18 November. (No access will be available from Acle Roundabout)
Whilst the A47 is closed, eastbound traffic will be diverted off the A47 at Norwich onto the A146 and A143 to re-join the A47 at Great Yarmouth. Westbound traffic will follow the same diversion but in reverse.

And we’ve put the link on our organisations page in case you need it in future.
The speeding reports for August and September have just been added to the website. In September the speed camera was opposite the school. The results varied on each day of the week but it showed 5-10% of all vehicles were speeding.
These, and all the reports going back to 2022, can be found here on our parish council page:
Alpington With Yelverton Parish Council
“Is it recycling or rubbish this week??”
“I don’t know, have a look what everyone else has put out!”
“But it’s dark and raining I can’t see!!”
Or even worse:
*hearing the bin lorry literally outside the house* “Hey did you put the bin out last night!? NO??!? Quick it’s outside!”
“BUT IM IN MY DRESSING GOWN!!!”
Ok, maybe not everyone’s as disorganised, but if you’re like me and would appreciate a reminder, there’s now an official app from South Norfolk Council, which will tell you which bin goes out that night, you can set up notifications to pop up and remind you, and there’s advice about what can go on the recycling. It’s pretty useful actually. There’s even a game on there, what more do you want?
Search “Bin Collections South Norfolk” on the App Store or Google Play

The next Alpington with Yelverton Parish Council meeting will be held at 7.30pm at the village hall, Mon 7th Nov 2022. The agenda is downloadable below.
